There is real value in the therapeutic and socialization benefits of participating in sports – the strengthening of participant’s self-esteem and the disciplines of teamwork, sportsmanship and fair play. We supply an opportunity for people with disabilities to participate fully in sports regardless of their personal limitations and/or ability. It is our goal to get children and adults with disabilities off the sidelines and into the game. DSRC sponsors a bowling league and a softball program called ACES SM (Service Mark).
Our bowling league, Wheelers and Dealers, is fun for ages 6 and up and runs from mid-September to mid-April at Alert Lanes in Essexville. We bowl two-times per month. The letter for bowlers, parents, and caregivers is attached below as well as the registration form which also includes the schedule! We have an Apparel Order Form plus all other required forms to be completed and returned are below.
ACES – All Children Experience Sports program was founded in 2002 and has hosted softball for children and adults with disabilities ages 6 and up. We play five games total on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at DeFoe Park with the final game on the first Saturday in August which is followed by a banquet celebrating our athletes and is held in the pavilion at the park! The letter for athletes, buddies, and parents is attached here as well as a schedule of games, the registration form, apparel order form, and all required forms to be completed and returned before the deadline stated on the forms.
